The Mulatto Republic [electronic resource] : class, race, and Dominican national identity / April J. Mayes.
This book examines how the Dominican Republic came to value being white over being black, especially given how many Dominicans are of African descent. Mayes looks at a seminal period of Dominican history, from the War of Restoration to the early decades of Trujillo's rule.
